Description
An icon of undiminishable light, a voice of undeniable power, and a humanitarian of unsinkable spirit, Angélique Kidjo inspires and energizes with infectious joy and soulful songwriting. The five-time Grammy Award winner unites people, languages, and musical styles like no other. (She’s collaborated with everyone from Bono to Vampire Weekend, Philip Glass to Dianne Reeves, and fuses everything from pop, jazz, and rock to afrobeat, dancehall, and hip-hop, all with her own West African roots.) Her imperative latest album HOPE!! continues to bring new voices into the fold, including Pharrell Williams, and spreads her message of love when hoping feel hopeless. Don’t miss this larger-than-life legend.
